Quoting: WendigoAm I the only one who can't see the pictures in the article?
What numbers do they show for Linux downloads?

Quoting: TcheySteam still has one big advantage left over the others so far : you can get a refund.
GOG had the refund policy right from the beginning.
I thought gog refund policy was only if you couldnt get the game to run. Steam allows you to refund a game if its garbage I have refunded about 15 games as i have not enjoyed them less than an hour a time. I wish game devs actually did demos again, would negate a lot of time wasted for me and the devs.

Quoting: TheRiddickWin32 is basically D3D9, percentage is impossible to say, if your talking about the BIG and popular titles then I would say it must be well over 50%
when it comes to dx9 games though if it doesnt run now, it never will they have long since moved on. Still a list of dx9 games that are either platium or gold.

Quoting: TheRiddickHere in Australia you can get your money back if you buy said shite. It does waste your time however.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Wow unity has come a long way, it seems to be a truly verstile engine it is a shame asset flippers have decended on it and steam is over loaded with that crap.
Luckily Steam has screenshot previews everywhere now so that you don't even have to open the game page to spot an asset flip.
True but it is still a little disheartening when you go to new releases and you see the torrent of shite.

Wow unity has come a long way, it seems to be a truly verstile engine it is a shame asset flippers have decended on it and steam is over loaded with that crap. It makes it hard for games that people actually spend time creating art assets to break through unless they manage to get a streamer or yt evanglising the game.

Quoting: officerniceFantastic news! Feral do some amazing ports. Wish they'd do Red Orchestra 2/Rising Storm and Rising Storm 2. :)
Dont think it is very likely Tripwire are a small indie studio I think they would need to be convinced on the numbers before they paid for a port and it would need cross multi player as there really arent that many people playing those games on windows. DOI seems to of taken most of people that play RO2.
